Photograph on the Dashboard Taken Years Ago
every streetlight reveals a picture in reverse,
but still it's so much clearer now
I am restless about school. It is getting on my last nerve. I love learning but I'm tired of deadlines and due dates and drama.
I am restless about my appearance. I want to change something. Make something shorter, darker, brighter. Samess makes me insane.
I am restless about my friends. I feel like some are drifting because they think I don't need them when I do. Just because I'm happy doesn't mean I have forgotten. I care so much about them.
I am restless about my family. I love my mom and stepdad but I feel like they don't quite understand what school is like right now. I feel badly that they stress out about money sometimes.
I am restless about my past. I feel it creeping up on me sometimes, like it's behind the next corner about to jump out and drag me into the dark again.
I forgot my shirt at the water's edge the moon is low tonight...
but still it's so much clearer now
